Inter Echo Foundation
Our Mission and Values
The Inter Echo Foundation (FIE) is a family foundation dedicated to supporting youth facing challenges in health and education. FIE supports the work and projects of organizations and foundations that work directly with young people in accordance with its mission and philosophy.
FIE is committed to supporting all communities and organizations, regardless of race, religion, gender, or sexual orientation. However, it prioritizes young individuals to provide them with adequate health and education, helping them thrive throughout their active lives.
How to Help
Funding
Currently, FIE is mainly funded by donations from its founders. Its sustainability is ensured by careful and prudent management of its assets. FIE does not pay any salaries—the only expenses are related to accounting and portfolio management. All daily activities are carried out by volunteer administrators.
Fundraising Campaigns
FIE is constantly seeking new sources of funding to ensure its sustainability. For example, it creates handcrafted condolence cards to collect donations, especially when someone close to the Foundation’s objectives passes away.
Additionally, FIE gathers donations from visitors at certain medical imaging clinics, with a commitment from the clinics to match each donation made.
Making a Donation
The Inter Echo Foundation is a registered private foundation with the Canada Revenue Agency and can issue tax receipts for donations. To contribute, simply complete the donation form, attach it with your check, and mail it. You will receive a tax receipt by return mail.
